I listened to Ctü, following their advice as they were guiding me in my own home.

  "Where are we going, Ctü ?"

  "Be patient, Child."

  It was quite an odd sentiment, being made to walk one's home as if it was a foreign world.

  In a certain sense, it was quite fun.

  That's peculiar, there's quite a strong odour coming from the basement.

  "Are you ready to face the truth, Child ? "

  "Hm ? Say, Ctü, how do you even know what Mother is up to ?"

  "I don't see like you humans do, when I observe your pne of existence, I can understand everything about it. I told you before didn't I, your god sent me there."

  "My god ?"

  "You don't have to think about it too much, Child. Getting back to the point, even though I wasn't really too keen on being part of the farce of G.O.D, I decided to indulge them out of pity for you, Child."

  The farce of what exactly, I felt like I was supposed to hear a word but the only I heard after farce of where static noises.

  "That's odd, is the radio not functioning properly ?"

  "Ah, I get it, that's funny. You humans are unable to pronounce his true name, regardless of how blessed you are. Even though I'm sharing my power with you, I suppose you are still human."

  "Huh ?"

  As, I didn't have the time to stay confused about the random nonsense Ctü was talking about that I heard the sound of something metallic hitting the ground from the other side of the room.

  "That's weird, I thought Mother never went in that basement. She event told me I shouldn't go there."

  "Really ? Why ?"

  "Because there's a monster that lives in the basement. She contained it in there."

  "Are all human childs this stupid ?"

  "You're really mean, Ctü..."

  "Don't waste our time, Child. Open this door and see for yourself who this woman really is at the core of her being."

  I braced myself, trying my best to be ready to witness whatever secret Mom was hiding.

  As soon as I saw it, my first reflex was to puke. I wasn't ready to witness such a gruesome scene at all. My father sat in a chair, his left leg and some of his fingers cut off.

  "F-Father ! B-But Mom said..."

  He tried to speak while tied to this chair, using the small amount of energy he had.

  "Sa..lly... Run... Leave... That... House..."

  "Father! Who did this to you?!"

  "Mo...ther..."

  I coulnd't believe my ears. All this time, mother had held father captive in the basement, leaving him in such a sorry state. Why? For what purpose? What's even the point of doing all of this?

  Before I could even process what was happening, my body was projected into my father's chair, making him scream in agony.

  "I'm sorry, Father!"

  In front of me was Mother, holding a bloody knife in her hand, a deranged smile on her face.

  "You always were an useless child. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree I suppose. I don't even know why I continued to pretend to care for you. You're the child of that man, after all. The child of a traitor will always be a traitor. It should have been obvious. How I despised the day I had to keep you in my belly."

  "Mother... Why would you say that..."

  I couldn't hold back my tears.

  "Shut up, vile creature! This guy had the audacity to divorce me after giving me a child. If I can't have him, nobody can."

  She ran with the knife in her hand and stabbed Father right in the heart, a wide smile deforming her features.

  "I should have done this long ago... Now, he will be mine forever!"

  The truth was too horrible to bear, this horrible person had been my mother, her blood flowing in my veins.

  "Disgusting..."

  Yes, I was disgusting. As long as that cursed blood would flow in my veins, I would be cursed. I could never handle it.

  Still...

  There was one thing I could do...

  "Now, dear, be a good daughter and die for Mother."

  I spoke telepathically to Ctu, asking them to guide me trough this situation.

  "(Ctu, this deal you talked about, is it fine if I accept it?)"

  Yes, it should be fine. Just let your true desires shine trough, human Child.

  Suddenly, tentacles sprouted from my back, frightening Mother.

  "I knew it, you're a cursed child!"

  "I will shut that mouth of yours for good, Mom."

  I sliced her mouth with one of the tentacle. It was surprising, I could completely control each of them individually.

  Finally, I didn't have to listen to her annoying voice and demand anymore. The fact it made feel this much pleasure to kill her by ripping apart of body felt quite worrying. In the end, was I actually as cruel as her ?

  With both of my parents dead, there was no other path for me than to live this house and live by myself at this point.

  Sigh, you humans are weird. Despite the fact this woman had always been horrible to you, some part of you still love her. I can't understand it.

  Of course this thing wouldn't understand. After all, despite her horrible nature, she was still my mom...

  Noticing I was just sat there near the body of both of my parents not moving one inch, Ctu decided to do something.

  One of the tentacle from my back detached itself and transformed into a familiar body. Ctu had transformed into my mom.

  "Ctu..."

  While I don't understand all those human things, I promise to look after you, Child. It is my duty as the being that chose you. I suppose this form will do.

  Ctu embraced my small body. Even though their body was cold, the warmth I felt from it was quite different than whenever Mother held my hand. Contrary to her, there was a recomforting sentiment I felt coming from this simple act.

  "You're a weird god, Ctu..."

  Not as weird as you, Child.
